KSL Mall (Johor)

[sabanuah]

Food guru of Taman Garden, wanna check. For a medium crab (salted egg) + nestum crayfish + deer meat for Rm117.

Is it worth it?

Back from my trip of 2D1N.

11@century is a nice hotel. Directly opposite of KSL. Love the location.

I actually walked to Taman Sentosa for Bah Kut Teh from KSL. Its just 20mins walk.

One is the franchise.
Okay the one you SHOULD eat is the one along the shophouses. Not the one by itself.

It occupies 2 shops now next to each other to accomodaye bigger crowd.

Oh... I didn't know that can walk from KSL to Taman Sentosa. Is Taman Sentosa the one with the STORE? How is the route like? Is it dangerous?

There's also a Ba Ku Teh store opposite KSL. So the one in Taman Sentosa Ba Ku Teh is better than the one in KSL?

Estimated duration is about 20-25mins.

I walked from KSL "exit" facing 11@ Century. turn right,walk straight ahead, you will come to a small junction. Turn left, and walk straight. Then you will see a small junction. Turn right, walk straight. You will be at the main road. Now all you need to do is turn left and continue walking straight. After 20mins, you should be able to locate THE STORE opposite you, on your right. Cross the road. Tada, reached!

Most recommended the BKT at taman sentosa. so i went straight for
that despite the BKT @ KSL is directly infront of my hotel. Hahaha!

I would rate it 8/10 for the BKT at taman sentosa. Do order the Ma You chicken too. Very tasty

That stretch still got famous Zhi Pao chicken aka herbs chicken. Yummy too.

i must have missed the Zhi Pao Chicken stall. Is it nearer to the store / left of BKT, or further down/ right of BKT (taking the BKT store as centre reference point)

Actually there are 2 BKT at that stretch too. So this Zhi Pao Chicken is between them and there are 2 shops selling. And both the shop are just side to side. Both are equally good.

 

[Habrosus]

Basically, just get yourself onto Jalan Dato Sulaiman, head for Tebrau Highway, turn left then all the way straight until you hit Jalan Sutera which will be on your right.

As on all roads, try to walk on the pavement (if there's one) against the traffic, and avoid carrying any hand/sling bags.

When you walk from KSL onto Jalan Dato Sulaiman, Holiday Plaza will be to your left, and Tebrau Highway to your right. The longest walk will be along the Tebrau Highway.

Thanks for the info.Wilco.

Next trip shall try them!

Oh yes, do try this too. Very worth it. 4 for RM8. big ones, 4 for RM18.

To me, the BKT still has something going for it, as the cooking is done by locals right within sight. The original one, first to set up shop, is the one pictured by Habrosus, right next to the cuttlefish shop. The paper-wrapped chicken places at the end of the stretch have lost their appeal to me for years, from the days in the 90s when they were really good. Bamboo Restaurant and Teck Sing used to be very competitive with each other, with price wars and free gifts. In my most recent visit to Teck Sing in 2010, I found that the real cooking is done by hired Burmese or Bangladeshis in the kitchen. Likewise for the Bamboo Restaurant.

This is bad! Real bad

 

[Habrosus]

Local food being cooked by foreigners is happening here as well.

What's more, that area being so close to SG, more M'sians will prefer to work here while living there, leaving lesser locals to be hired.

Thus we see quite a few foreigners from the other regions around.

 

[beanstalk6]

Hawkers and food businesses over there face the same problems ours do. Older folk are unable or unwilling to hand their businesses over to their children because of the hard work and long hours. The natural recourse is to sub-let or hire help, usually in the form of quasi-legal Burmese (mostly Rohingyas) and Indonesians. All those big-name places in Malacca town, Jln Alor (KL), Gurney Drive (Georgetown) and JB are seeing this loss of original flavours.

i forgot to add. The oysters are from their MONDAY PASAR MALAM
